The East Empire Trading Company (often shortened to East Empire Company or abbreviated as the EEC) is a merchant organization. The Company has a monopoly on multiple trade goods—including Raw Ebony, Raw Glass, and Stalhrim—Dwemer artifacts, and Flin. It controls the import and export of multiple goods to and from Vvardenfell, like Kwama Eggs, Marshmerrow pulp, Saltrice, and Telvanni Bug Musk. It was commissioned by the Emperor and is controlled by a group of individuals he appointed, which, in addition to the Company's wealth, makes it relatively powerful, with its influence affecting even the administration of the Duke of Vvardenfell. The Company has offices in Ebonheart and in Fort Frostmoth.
